[spoon-discuss] Re: [Spoon-business] talking and vote changing


Why this is on Business:
Seeing as Wonko did it for his, and it seems proper, I change my vote to Abstain on the Respect Orc prop.

About Improbability
I really like the Improbability Drive, but it needs to be a bit harder to get. Ford Prefect didn't do it alone.
-Ford didn't do it at all, but he's currently the only character from THHGTTG represented in B Nomic.-
Hmm. Maybe an Alien Gnome, and require an Ancient Monolith, and... >well, I'm just making things up.
-Hadn't noticed... anyway, you need an Alien Gnome to get a Ford Prefect. I think insetead of making it harder to get, it should be uglire to use. You use it, and there's a roughly 3/5 chance that something screwy will happen to you (Upon consideration, Glotmorf, I prefer that, so I hope that clears up one of your issues.)-

I've got some ideas, but we'd need more props to fully implement them. Also, the lots of Voids seems a bit harsh.
-Yeah, I'm cutting that as soon as I can figure out how to do so quickly, and how to rearrange the other die rolls.-

Ooh, another idea-since it takes time, make it such that whoever's in the speeder cannot perform any grid actions for, say, 7 ndays.
-I'm not sure I follow. See, I figured this would be the kind of thing you use in a case where it's better to become a Penguin than stay where you were. So you'd need to get moving FAST.-

And Wonko's right about the clarity with the movement and the die roll.
-You mean Glotmorf? I still do't get how you figure that. Upon the movement's happening, the die is rolled.-

Ooh, another thought - think up some more wierd things, like maybe Gnomes turning into random types, a Caviar Sandwhich appearing, random grid object movement, etc. Another thought: since the one in the book was otherwise run-of-the-mill, either: prohibit other upgrades, or: cause some extratarrestrials to be looking to get all the IIP drive ships, and cause trouble for people to have them.
-Well, with a little rephrasing, I could make it so that an IIP speeder wasn't a Speeder such that WOnko's Upgrades rule refers to. Then you couldn't do anything to it, although anything you'd already done might still be on... that might require a CFI to determine, unless I define what happens to existing upgrades.-

About Catastrophe's
-Catastrophes.-
